Hey guys, I have a hardware issue but first the background story
So my phone fell on concrete and the screen broke. I bought a digitizer and replaced it myself. After a month or so, I broke it again. I replaced it, but the unit I got was faulty, and I only got the replacement today.
I opened the phone again and replaced the digitizer, and it's working great!
however in the process I must have done something wrong since my audio/sound doesn't work anymore.
1)Loud speaker works just fine and the microphone works since I am able to talk to people and they hear me
2) When I plug in my earset, the sound works just fine on the earphone. The microphone switches over the earset's microphone and I can hear/talk just fine.
The only problem that I have is I can't hear anything if i put phone next to my ear :/ I opened again looked around, but didn't find anything obvious that might explain wha went wrong. Would anyone know where to look/what to test?
Cheers
anyone any idea please? D:
I haven't opened up my Mozart just yet but from my experience with HTC phones I would suggest checking the contacts of the speaker. They tend to have little springs on the speaker that come in contact with the mainboard and this is how the signal is transmitted. If these contacts are damaged then you will not hear anything.
With all the drops you may have damaged the speaker itself but I'm not sure of a way you could test that.
The problem i had was that I used my sony ericsson X8 headset and the sound came out funny, the thing that was cuasing it was the microphone. Try stock headset to see if it works. If it doesnt then you might want to get someone to check it or fix it. Up to you.
I have just recently gotten a rezound about 3 weeks ago and I have noticed issues with my bluetooth. Not all, but most people I talk to on the other end say my voice is muffled and has lots of static. I can't figure out how to remove it. I've attempted turning everything off (wifi, gps,4g) and the static is still there. I've read about some people having issues on vzw site and HTCs site but haven't seen it mentioned anywhere here. I'm am running the latest ICS leak, which has nothing to do with it because the phone did it before I updated the firmware. This is all on a Plantronics M100 that worked flawlessly with my Dinc. If I can't resolve this I may have to return this phone for something else because I HAVE to have a working bluetooth. If anyone has a bluetooth that works great let me know and ill try it to see if I can get one that works. Who knows maybe this bluetooth doesn't like this phone. Anyways, thanks in advance...

I know what you are talking about. I use a samsung hm3500 for videos and audio because it supports A2DP. But it is also just a Bluetooth headset. Probably the coolest one I have found. Great for watching videos without headphones.
(Sorry that was me babbling)
Anyway, yes I have the same issue with the HM3500. People tell me my voice sounds muffled, but when I switch to the phone mic, it sounds much better. I assume it is just a low quality headset? I only paid #10 for it.
I use a jawbone era. It works the same on this phone as it does on my dinc and my charge.
I mean.. I MIGHT be the phone. Call and get a replacement, if its still a problem then get something else I guess.
The best thing to do to check it, is to call yourself and leave yourself a voicemail. Talk with the headset, turn it off and talk with out it. Go back and forth s few Times.
Repeat with the dinc.. compare the quality yourself. It has been my experience that other people are bad at accurately describing problems.

Quick troubleshooting
I have had occasional problems too on my phone, but the wife's does not.
Check how you hold the phone. There is a mic hole on the bottom edge you do not want to cover with a finger, I did. Take off the back cover and check that the mic hole is open, not clogged.
Does the audio input accessed by the keyboard (for voice recognition text input) hear you and work well? If that does not, the phone isn't picking up your voice. You could also try making a voice recording and playing it back to check the quality.
Try a bluetooth headset or car radio handsfree. If those work fine then the problem is likely with the phone/mic. That will involve a replacement.
Ill try the voicemail thing. The problem is with my bluetooth not the phone mic itself. When I switch to that people say I sound much better. I have tried several different ways of holding it with all the same result. I made several phone calls last night and some were land lines. My wife said one time I sounded staticky and the rest of the time it was better. Other calls I made the other people said static as well. I don't know what would cause it to be intermittent like this.

Bluetooth
I would try a different bluetooth set. I use mine with a bluetooth motor cycle helmet head set and it works just fine. Also with a Motorola stereo set sounds good to.
Ok really starting to get pissed at this Rezound. Got another headset to try and....same results. Callers on the other end say I sound extremely loud like my mouth is right on the bluetooth and the audio is very muddled. Why is this all the sudden a problem??? My other bluetooth worked great with my original incredible. If I can get this resolved I'm ditching this phone and getting something else because I NEED bluetooth. Someone please tell me a headset that works for theirs and I will try that one!

At some point last week while out of the country I was using Groove IP to make wi-fi calls (as I often do) but the earpiece volume started messing up and I couldn't hear things through it anymore and started using headsets and the speakerphone for calls. So I removed that app and started using Talkatone but the condition remained.
Now that I am back home and removed Talkatone as well, I find that I can't hear anything out of the earpiece on regular phone calls either. Bluetooth is fine and earbuds are fine and the speakerphone is fine, but I can't hear a thing through the phone's earpiece (and yes, the call volume is all the way up).
I tried reinstalling both apps and checked the various settings but can't find anything wrong. I also did a soft-reset but no help.
Anyone have any ideas, aside from a hard-reset? This is my second One X+ in six weeks and really hope it isn't a hardware problem.
Thanks.
Did you ever solve this problem? Experiencing the same thing on an HTC One X+ I was given. Speakerphone works fine, but the in-call speaker is totally silent.
My son had an iPhone 4s that had this problem. It was rumored being too forceful with the headphone plug broke the jack to board connection and a signal trace to the earpiece. The phone was replaced under warranty.
Good chance it's physical damage but unless you have a soldering setup for fine work you have few options.

My Amaze 4G for T-Mobile was rooted with s-on and flashed with Revolution HD 4.0 about half year ago. I had to change the digitizer/LCD assembly because it went dark. That went rather smoothly. However, the mic stopped working after that. I can hear people but they can't hear me. I did re-flash with the same ROM after the repair since the phone was having some other issues I thought might be software related. Didn't test the mic before the flash though.
The symptoms and what I've done so far:
-- People can't hear me during call. Turning on speaker doesn't help. Using a headset with built-in mic works.
-- The voice recorder app can't record a thing. Tapping the phone doesn't record either, so it's not dirt blocking the hole. AndroSensor app shows no sound input.
-- I can record video WITH sound. This was actually done after I replaced the mic PCB. Does this mean the mic is OK or the phone has another mic?
-- Re-flashed and tried another ROM, same thing.
-- Flashed back to stock T-Mobile ICS ROM, no good.
-- Installed SoundAbout app, played around with it, i.e., the headset plug trick, still no dice.
Since I can record video with sound, I feel it's more like a software problem, unless there's a secondary mic used for video recording but not phone calls. The sound doesn't seem to be recorded through the mic hole at the bottom as blocking it with my finger doesn't reduce the volume. I'm thinking to try the stock Gingerbread ROM as a last resort.
Any input will be greatly appreciated.

Since the Amaze records video in stereo, I have to assume there are at least 2 mics.

Make sense. It was working fine before I changed the digitizer/LCD. Thought I might broke something during the process. Checked the cables and they looked OK, so I replaced the microphone PCB but that didn't help. Could be a bad PCB though. May try to ask seller for a replacement. Does the problem sound like a software issue to anyone? I went ahead re-flashed the stock GB ROM but failed. I read somewhere the phone needs to be S-Off to do that. Any suggestions what else I can try to fix it?

Not a notion. It would be nice if there was some sort of schematic or youtube how-to for the mic. As for getting to S-Off, there is guide if necessary--do a search.

Replacing the mic PCB was easy, figured it out by myself. Can't be sure if I broke something else during the repair. I did search for S-Off guides and it seems the wire trick under Linux is the only way to go now. Since putting back the stock ICS ROM didn't help, I don't think the stock GB ROM will do any good either. The phone had ICS when I rooted it. Requested a replacement of the mic PCB I bought, let's see how that goes.

Good luck.
Hello you guys so my beautiful droid DNA was badly handled and it just so happened that my back speaker (the one beneath the beats logo) stopped working! So I ordered a part on eBay and it happened to be JUST the speaker , and if you've tried to replace the speaker before you could see that the speaker is connected to a lot of other things , and I was wondering if anyone knew how to take apart where the speaker was to replace it? All help is appreciated.
